Week 23 2025

 Hello!

 Hear ye, hear ye, dear Sauveterriennes and Sauveterriens!

After the great success of our last two festive jousts, Sauveterre-de-Guyenne town council invites you to the 3ᵉ edition of the Medieval Festival!

Join us on Sunday 8 June, from 10am, on the Place de la République to feast together on this day of jubilation, where traditions and revelry will transport you to the heart of ancient times!

Get ready to travel back in time to the knights, troubadours and craftsmen of yesteryear!


And I'll be there in Medieval get-up, with some sticky red clay and a coiling activity.  Come on over and say Hello.  See the full programme here https://www.sauveterre-de-guyenne.fr/fete-medievale/

Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a great time.
Best wishes,
Helen

And finally...

Next weekend is Father's Day, and we're celebrating in the pottery studio.  Bring your Dad and work together to make a sports themed 'vide-poche' (I've never found a satisfactory English translation for that word)

Week 22 2025

 

 Hello!

This is the last jour ferie in May... this one is L'ascension and it always falls on a Thursday because it's 10 days before Pentecost Sunday.  It marks the day that Jesus ascended to heaven following his crucifixion and resurrection, according to Christian belief. Please be aware that public services and many shops will be closed and as it's followed by a Friday, many businesses take the opportunity to 'faire le pont' so watch out for Friday too!


Whatever you do this weekend in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a good week. It's going to be great weather, so sit back and enjoy the sunshine.

Best wishes,
Helen
